Paul Byrd (when asked if he rescued the team by pitching well in Game 1):
"I'll tell you who really rescued this team, it was (Ervin) Santana last night. I was just trying to copy a rookie."

Paul Byrd:
"The room was dark - I love those rooms with the thick curtains - and it's like, 'Where am I?'"

After the disappointment of Game 1, what with Bart giving up 3 runs, after getting the first 2 outs, and Garret missing the fly ball to left center (I still think Juan would have gotten it...even if Sciosc says they had G.A. playing shallow), etc...it was nice to go to last night's game and see the Angels, that I know and have been watching all ( Read more... )

That was the kind of victory I have been waiting all season for. Okay, I haven’t really been hoping for one of our best starters to go out there and give up 4 runs in 5.2 innings, while throwing 112 pitches, but the comeback part…definitely ( Read more... )

Another terrific pitching performance by PB against the Red Sox. Only 4 hits in 7 innings, with 2 walks and no ERs. Way to go!!

Darin Erstad (on Francisco Rodriguez adding a change-up to his repitoire):

"I guess my quote would be, 'I'm glad he's on our team. I know pitchers ( Read more... )

Francisco Rodriguez (on Joe Saunders):

"He pitched a hell of a game. He was outstanding, but unfortunately he didn't get the win because, as everybody knows, I didn't do my job."

Adam Kennedy (on hitting 9th):

"You can get lost hitting ninth."Today, I thought I'd add some Cardinals quotes since 1) I like the Cardinals and 2) so do several of ( Read more... )

I LOVE player quotes...so here are some recent quotes that I found interesting/funny:

Francisco Rodriguez (on missing the throw from the catcher):

"It's not like I lost [track of the ball]. It was a throw a 5-year-old could have caught."

Darin Erstad (on Frankie's boo boo):

"They say you see something new in baseball every day. Well, there you ( Read more... )
